Dr. Roland M. Meffert is considered
to be one of the foremost experts on dental implants
in the country. “Marquette contributed to my success
by being thorough in its training, both didactic and clinical,” says
Roland. “I felt qualified to accomplish dental treatment
at any level.”

In the early 1990s, when the university was seriously
considering the closure of the dental school, Dennis worked
effectively to successfully convince the leadership of
Marquette and the Wisconsin State Legislature that having
a dental school in the state was critical for the ongoing
oral health and well-being of its citizens.
